He was a fine back up option in the regular season that got overrated because of Memphis great depth around him and always got exposed in the playoffs as a back up and then when team foolishly made him a starter.

And that player’s archetype “small guard who can pass but doesn’t have any scoring gravity and can’t defend” is useless in today’s NBA, teams have enough shot creation at other position not to need it

Used to be Tyus >> Tre, now it’s Tre >>>>>>>> Tyus.

Yeah, hes not old enough to be as washed as he is. Really odd, but I suppose you never know with small guards. Makes it all the more impressive that guys like Conley and Paul had the runs they did into their late 30s without dropping off at all at that size

He’s not a good defender and didn’t seem able to get to the rim when he was in Phoenix.

Something I’ve heard is that he’s always needed a roll man to make it work with how unathletic he’s always been, and then he got slapped onto teams that don’t have roll men. Add that that any hit guys at his level take from any injury and it’s a recipe for disaster.

The nembhard brothers are the monstars and they just took the Jones brothers spots in the league

He’s decent, but does nothing for a tanking team like Dallas

Damn son, you re a genius.

Wtf just coming across this now. You called it

Defense wins championships and those idiots traded their best defender

Ah, they must be tanking then

/s

Too early to predict that

I’ll do you one better.

The Dallas Mavericks are not making the NBA Finals this year

a star?? he doesn’t look like a player getting any minutes

I mean it doesn’t rlly matter. Branham is out of the league in 2 years and we took a flyer on tyus to see if he’s decent and he def wasn’t.

It was expiring for expiring so it doesnt matter much. That 2.1m extra salary will be off the book anyways.

I guess they want to see if Tyrus Jones could still be a serviceable backup but he’s mega washed unfortunately.

He was still decent with phoenix last year so maybe they thought he could bounce back

We’re still 5.5m under the tax. We cleared so much salary in the AD trade that it didn’t matter.

The hornets front office out here making moves to get 2nd rounders… I’m genuinely impressed how say they’ve been since changing leadership

I assume that means they intended to buy out Khris but it won’t happen now ?

You think our FO is smart?

Do you know about the man boobs anecdote from Michael Lewis’s book The Undoing Project?

no its that he has 1 really really good stat but a lot of other really really bad stats that teams all think they can address.

Dallas made a trade that accomplished nothing? Say it ain’t so.
